After reading this article I am convinced of the potential of this chat. I would like to ask if it is possible to insert private direct messages in chat, between me and my readers?

When I email out my chat threads, the readers received a general message like, "Petar Petrov just kicked off the new chat. Read it now in the Substack app or visit on web." Well, this is fine, but it would be better if they receive an actual preview of the chat thread and read what it is about. Similar to the old thread posts.

This is such a great concept! Undoubtedly, I will need to create one for my writing stack. Aspiring writers should use it as a fantastic forum to discuss anything related to writing and publishing! https://run-3.pro

Substack primarily focused on https://connectionsnyt.com/ providing a platform for email newsletters rather than a built-in chat feature.

Hi there, friends. Have I missed something or is there really no way to search within the chat of a single publication? I suppose I'm to tell members to use the search function in their browsers... that seems odd. Did I miss something?

I wanted to extend a massive thank you for the guide to Substack Chat! It's such a game-changer, providing writers like me with a personalized community space to engage with readers and fellow creators. It's fantastic how we can shape the conversation, steering the tone and topics as we see fit. The ability to toggle this feature on and off adds a wonderful layer of control.

Your support means a lot, especially in understanding the ins and outs of this platform. I took a peek at the you shared https://gbwhatsapp.net/gb-whatsapp-pro-apk/ and found it quite intriguing, exploring new tools always broadens perspectives.

Thank you again for the valuable insights and for pointing me in the direction of resources.

I'm trying to see if I can run a discussion group on substack behind the paywall, and was really hoping that if I enabled paid subscribers to be able to start chat threads, that those threads would be paywalled / and only paid subscribers could reply, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any chance we could get that feature?

Wow I love this idea! I'll definitely have to make one for my writing substack. It'll be a great place for aspiring authors to discuss all things writing/publishing!

The chat is one of the reasons I'm making the switch from Ghost to Substack. The features of community building are unparalleled. That being said, as someone new to Substack, I'm struggling with some features because the customer service doesn't respond to my questions and emails, and I've struggled to get a response on the chat threads as well. I uploaded my podcast, but it won't appear as a separate section on the navigation bar. Does anyone know how to fix this?

And if you're a nomad, expat, immigrant, refugee, third-culture kid, or feel inescapably foreign, check out my page. I'm always looking for ways to collaborate. withoutbordersfyi.substack.com/publish

I'm excited to create my chat and take part in others once I'm all set up. One of the reasons I'm switching from Ghost to Substack is because of the features Substack creates to foster community. The Ghost newsletter often came down to integrating more social media. In contrast, Substack creates its own ways to interact with readers and build a community without being bombarded by ads and clickbait.
